My Girlfriend Who Develops Through Development

Lin Mo: "..."

So, his mother was making fun of him here?

Where did he get the nerve to deny it?

Right now, he and An Youyu are just ordinary classmates and good friends. As for what kind of relationship they will develop into in the future, that's a matter for the future!

Lin Shu crossed her arms. "If we're just talking about jokes, the jokes you made with Yu'er weren't too much. Under normal circumstances, her reaction shouldn't have been so strong."

Lin Mo shrugged, feeling wronged. "Right? I think so too."

Lin Shu then changed the subject, "Of course, my analysis only refers to normal circumstances. What if it's not normal?"

Lin Mo asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'abnormal'?"

Hearing her son's question, Lin Shu smiled, a smile tinged with obvious oddness, "For example..."

She deliberately dragged out the sound, clearly trying to pique people's interest.

Lin Mo could easily see through it and pleaded, "Mom, please stop being so mysterious and just say what you want to say."

Lin Shu smiled knowingly, "So you want to know?"

"think."

"But suddenly I don't want to talk about it anymore."

"..."

Lin Mosheng looked up and sighed helplessly, "Mom, what do I have to do for you to tell me?"

Upon hearing this, a triumphant smile flashed in Lin Shu's eyes. "In exchange for something of equal value, you also have to answer one question for me."

Noticing his mother's gaze, Lin Mo instantly guessed what she wanted to ask. After hesitating for a couple of seconds, he reluctantly nodded and agreed, "Okay, please tell your son what you didn't finish saying earlier."

"no problem!"

Seeing that her son had agreed to her request, Lin Shu stopped beating around the bush and told him directly: "When you were eight years old, I took you to Liangshan. You know that. The first time I saw Yu'er, she had a bald little head."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh. "Back then, I mistook Yu'er for a boy. She was rather thin and small, so I made her call you 'brother' and you call her 'little brother'. I still remember clearly the way Yu'er stared at me with those resentful little eyes."

"Later, it was Yu'er's mother-in-law who told me that Yu'er was a girl and that she had a disease that prevented her from growing hair before the age of ten. I didn't ask any more questions."

After saying that, Lin Shu winked at her son, "So, now you know why Yu'er reacts so strongly to your jokes, right?"

Lin Mo forced a smile and couldn't help but take a deep breath. "So that's how it is. By the way, Mom, did you ask Xiaoyuer what illness he had back then?"

"No."

Lin Shu shook her head. "I just rented someone's house. How could I ask such a sensitive question?"

"That's true."

Lin Mo nodded understandingly, then frowned involuntarily. "You can't grow your hair before the age of ten? Is there such a condition?"

Lin Shu stood up and looked at her son, who was a head taller than her, and comforted him with a smile: "Don't overthink it. Didn't I take Yu'er to the hospital for a check-up not long ago? She's perfectly healthy now. Don't scare yourself."

"I'm a bit sensitive."

"fart!"

Lin Mo's eyes were sincere. "Mom, it's true!"

Lin Shu ruthlessly exposed her son, "Stop talking nonsense. I raised you, do you not know what kind of person you are? It's just that you care about the fish."

"Mom, you must have misunderstood."

Upon hearing Lin Shu's conclusion, Lin Mo vehemently denied it, saying, "If it were you, I would have taken it just as seriously."

"I'm your mother, isn't it natural for you to care about me?"

Lin Shu smiled maliciously, "So, in your heart, I'm the same as Yu'er, right?"

Before her son could answer, she muttered to herself, "Xiao Mo, your best friend is just like your mother. This is a little hard to believe, isn't it?"

"This one……"

Lin Mo stood there awkwardly, unsure how to respond.

Seeing her son's troubled expression, Lin Shu gently waved her hand, "Alright, Mom has told you everything she knows. Now it's your turn to answer me. If you dare to lie to me, you're dead!"

Lin Mo was at his wit's end. "Fine, go ahead and ask."

Lin Shu narrowed her eyes to slits, circled her son once, and then slowly asked, "Do you like fish or not?"

Lin Mo revealed an expression of "I knew it," and whispered, "Guess."

Lin Shu's eyes widened. "Guess whether I'll guess or not?"

"Guess what I'm guessing, or are you going to guess?"

Lin Shu grabbed her son by the ear and asked, "Are you having fun with the tongue twisters?"

Lin Mo grimaced and screamed, "It hurts, it hurts... Please be gentle, I'll talk, I'll talk!"

Lin Shu snorted coldly, released her grip, and warned, "Speak up now!"

"I love Little Fish..."

"to be frank!"

"It was premeditated!"

Chapter 228 Youth, a great book!

"A long-planned scheme?"

In an instant, Lin Shu's expression underwent a subtle change.

After asking so many questions, both openly and subtly, it seems like this is the first time my son has truly opened up to me.

Although she had already guessed the answer in her heart, guessing was one thing, but no matter how confident she was, it was not as good as letting her son say it himself.

Meeting his mother's gaze, Lin Mo looked both helpless and amused. "Mom, this word shouldn't be hard to understand, right?"

"I am uneducated."

Lin Shu spread her hands. "You'd better be clearer. I asked you if you like fish, and you either answered yes or no. 'Planned' doesn't fall under the category of an answer, so I think you should answer again. What do you think?"

Lin Mo was both amused and exasperated. "You clearly understand everything, so why do you insist that I say it?"

"nonsense!"

Lin Shu glared at him. "Of course you have to tell me! How am I supposed to know what you're thinking if you don't? What if I misunderstand? That would be so embarrassing!"

Lin Mo scratched his head, then changed his tone: "Since 'long-planned' is not within the scope of this answer, shall I use a different word?"

"What word?"

"It was preordained in a past life."

Lin Shu rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Would it kill you to just say it?"

"will not."

Lin Mo smiled and walked to the window alone.

Lin Shu rolled her eyes at her son, "Then you..."

By now, it was completely dark outside, and countless stars formed a starry sky.

Lin Mo looked up and said, “There are some things I might not believe, but I feel that I and Xiaoyuer should have known each other in our past lives. It was like I liked her but hadn’t confessed. To me, she was like a ray of bright light.”

Lin Shu came to the window and stood beside her son, murmuring, "The bright light, isn't that the white moonlight?"

"Yes and no."

Lin Mo nodded first, then shook his head, "I had no power to change what happened in my previous life, but this life is different."

"You're getting more and more outrageous."

Lin Shu nudged her son with her shoulder and teased him softly, "Is it really that hard to say the word 'I like you'?"

"It's not difficult."

Lin Mo turned to look at his mother. "You like to eat fish, but your son likes it even more. I will try my best to get her on... our family's household register."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu smiled with satisfaction. "I like to hear that. I know why you've been so stubborn. You're just afraid of me, your mother, and your teachers interfering, right?"

"almost."

"Now that you've graduated, you can't hold back anymore, right?"

"Fortunately."

Hearing her son's nonchalant reply, Lin Shu chuckled inwardly, "Keep being stubborn. I'll be honest with you today. I really like Yu'er. She's kind, beautiful, and so smart. In my heart, she's a princess!"

"Princess?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Mo nodded secretly, "Indeed, she is a princess."

Lin Shu patted her son on the shoulder and said earnestly, "So, you, the knight, need to keep up the good work!"

"Will do."

"Okay, that's enough."

Lin Shu's voice was gentle, "Go to bed early tonight. The college entrance exam is tomorrow, so get some rest. I've seen how hard you've worked lately, so make sure you do your best and don't have any regrets."

"My son doesn't even know that word."

After her mother left, Lin Mo did nothing but go straight to bed to sleep.

I've already done countless practice problems. Tonight, I don't need to do anything but rest and recharge for tomorrow's college entrance exam.

The moment he closed his eyes, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"The system has issued a task: please obtain first place on the Dragon Ranking in the college entrance examination and assist An Youyu in obtaining first place on the Phoenix Ranking. The task reward is 1000 cultivation points."

Lin Mo silently reminded himself, "System, wasn't this task already issued?"

System: "Tasks cannot be issued until the event occurs."

Lin Mo's lips twitched. "Then what were you doing before?"

System: "The previous ones were just a warm-up; this is the real mission release. Given the host's attitude at the time, if I hadn't given you a warm-up, you probably would have continued to criticize me."
